At the moment the Swing GUI translations are provided as .properties and .csv files in the project’s bundle/ subfolder. These files are also hosted on Transifex platform for the community contribution.

Description

Separated Translation files between “gui” and “ui”

(minus) double maintainance until “gui” will be still included in the release packages

(minus) more resources on Transifex

(plus) Same translations files for both “gui” and “ui”

(plus) Only one set of resources on Transifex
